Cambridge students are planning to take to the streets tonight (Thursday, February 16) to “re-write the headlines” about their relationship with the homeless.

Following the national outrage over the actions of undergraduate Ronald Coyne, who was filmed attempting to burn a £20 note in front of homeless Ryan Davies, a team of students will be delivering hot food and drinks to rough sleepers in and around the city.

The night of action has been organised St John’s graduate Ryan Rodrigues and current Emmanuel College student Elle Jenkinson, and currently has more than 90 people confirmed to attend on the event’s Facebook page.

The students will be gathering at Pembroke College at 6.30pm, and aim to spend two hours on the streets of Cambridge.
